In today's Internet age, information is spread everywhere. However, a recent Israeli Channel 12 survey strikingly found that nearly 80% of people on the Western Internet are "retrograde" and on the opposite side of Israel. This phenomenon has indeed baffled and shocked the Israelis. Through the collection and analysis of a large amount of data, Israel's MIGAI company found that since the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza, there have been 83 posts on the Western Internet about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict84% are against Israel, only 808% are in favor of Israel, the remaining 808% remain neutral. To add insult to Israelis, some of the pro-Israel internet bloggers are known for posting ridiculous statements and anti-scientific views. It is worth noting that almost nine out of every ten comments from these bloggers are ridiculed and criticized for their posts, which undoubtedly has a negative impact on Israel's image.
In the Western Internet, there is a clear contrast between Israel's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Although the West openly supports Israel, the attitude on the Internet is very different. According to data compiled by Migai, the vast majority of posts against Israel come from the Western Internet. This phenomenon is alarming, because according to conventional thinking, Western countries should be supportive and affirmative of Israel. However, it turns out that most of the posts on the Western Internet express voices of opposition to Israel. And those who support Israel often draw widespread ridicule and criticism for publishing absurd views. This situation has led Israel to reflect on its image and position in the international arena.
One can't help but wonder why Israel has become a "global public enemy" in the Western internet
The reasons why Israel has become a "global public enemy" are not complicated. Unlike other aggressive countries, Israel has acted aggressively and has resorted to violence. One need only look at the events of recent days to get a glimpse of Israel's "messing around". On December 15, three Israeli hostages were brutally shot dead by Israeli soldiers when they were **, wearing only shabby clothes, holding "white flags" in their hands, and crying out for help in Hebrew, the language of their country, but they eventually died mercilessly at the gunpoint of Israeli troops, a scene that attracted global attention. On December 16, France*** announced that a senior French diplomat had been killed in an Israeli air strike three days earlier, and France** issued a statement expressing condolences and demanding an explanation from the Israeli authorities. At the same time, the global non-profit development organization "Global Community" also announced that the organization's staff in the Gaza Strip, Jena and his family of four, were killed in Israeli air strikes, and "Global Community" is a partner agency of the United States Agency for International Development. These incidents have occurred only in the last few days, and if the irrational behaviour that has taken place since 7 October is counted, the number of irrational acts and excessive use of force by Israel is innumerable. It is not surprising that Israel is carrying out air strikes not only against its own people, but also on its own allies, making Israel a "global enemy".
Although the position of the West ** looks more objective in relation to the "retrograde" rhetoric on the Western Internet. According to migai, about 64% of the mainstream** maintain a neutral position, 28% have a position against Israel, and only 8% support Israel. However, this objectivity is only relative. Despite these claims to remain neutral, their neutral stance is effectively equated with support for Palestine in the context of the general support for Palestine in the West. In addition, it should be noted that the above statistics mainly come from the Western Internet, and if the data of non-Western countries such as China and Russia are included, the proportion of anti-Israel may rise further.
To sum up, Israel's image and status as a country are largely influenced by the international community and the Internet**. However, in the world of the Western Internet, Israel has almost lost the right to a voice and has become a "global public enemy". This is directly related to Israel's excessive use of force and irrational behavior towards its own people and allies. For Israel, reconsidering its behavior and image and finding a common language with the international community is an important direction of development.
Israel was surprised to find that 80 percent of the people on the Western Internet were "retrograde" and opposed to Israel. According to a survey by Migai, 83 percent of recent posts on the Western Internet about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have been published84% are anti-Israel, only 808% are pro-Israel, the remaining 808% remain neutral. This phenomenon has caused confusion and shock in Israel. Behind this figure, Israel's violence and irrational treatment of its own and allies are the main reasons for this phenomenon. Despite the West's claim to remain neutral, in the context of the West's support for Palestine, their position of neutrality is effectively equivalent to support for Palestine. Israel needs to seriously reflect on its own behavior and image, and find a common language with the international community in order to change its image as a "global enemy" and make itself more respected and recognized in the international arena.
